Trench Slab was designed by Shiva Nallaperumal and published by Indian Type Foundry. Trench Slab contains 5 styles and family package options.
Trench Slab is part of the Trench superfamily, which also includes Trench Rounded, and a special series of fonts designed to print text in very small point sizes – Trench Sans. All of the Trench fonts include large, prominent ink-traps. Like Trench Round, Trench Slab is intended for use in text that is to be set in any larger-than-normal-reading-size. It may be used for shorter passages of text, or very large display applications. The slab serifs in Trench Slab are just as prominent as the design’s ink-traps; in other words, the slabs are very, very large. There are a number of alternates included in each Trench Slab font. The standard form of the capital “I” in all fonts has serifs; the “a” is two-storied and the “g” is single-storied. Over stylistic sets, users can access a capital “I” without serifs, a double-storied “g”, and alternate forms of “M”, “N”, “W”, and “w”.
